My Demons Can’t Sleep

Why am I fighting another night With something I can't believe is real? I am restless and broken Why? I need you to tell me why The skeletons in my closet They're endlessly twisting my feelings I'm hiding from the darkest side of me My demons can't sleep, they're wide awake And this is not the perfect day My demons can't sleep and I can feel That there's no rest or peace for me I want them to go but I know That's impossible I want them to sleep but they say They won't fade away My demons can't sleep My demons can't sleep How? I'm asking myself how How did I end up in here? Which was my mistake Time I'm running out of time I feel like I'm losing ground I am faithless, they're ruthless, I'm over Maybe sorry is the missing word My demons can't sleep, they're wide awake And this is not the perfect day My demons can't sleep and I can feel That there's no rest or peace for me I want them to go but I know That's impossible I want them to sleep but they say They won't fade away Turning and turning the story won't change Hiding my faults just drives me insane Running and running away from myself It isn't exactly the way out of hell Maybe the demons won't look at my cries Maybe they're trying to open my eyes What if the one to be blamed it was me What if I finally say that I'm wrong? What if I finally say Let it go! Will they fade? My demons can't sleep My demons can't sleep They're wide awake And this is not the prefect day My demons can't sleep and I can feel (My demons can't sleep, oh) That there's no rest or peace for me I want them to go and I know now It's possible I want them to sleep but they say They won't fade away My demons can't sleep My demons can't sleep My demons can't sleep
